Fist I thought I was following LCHF diet. But when I brought weighing machine and checked the crabs and fat etc only I came to how much carb I am taking. Accordingly I adjusted my diet.
As of today I am taking Calories/day 2022 ; Carbs/day120; fat/day=191; protin/day 135.
Now my fasting blood sugar is 99, 94 before average fasting was 115.also my PPS is 122.
BENEFIT
First time in my life my extreme hunger controlled. Before the more roti/sabji I take the more hunger I was. Even in the night 3 times I have to get up and eat roti/roti. Now I have normal hunger only. No acidity no burring in the heart. I have felt that my stomach GOD made to take LCHF diet only!!!!!!. It is only my opinion. The carb made my life miserable no sleep in the night then I started heart palpitation and high BP. Now I don’t take any more ramipril and clopitab any more. Just only take my METFORMIN. I hope If I follow strictly I can remove METFORMIN in one year. Yes over confidence!!!!!
I feel energetic than ever before. I do now lot of exercise. Before always drowsy and tired.
No constipation and gas. Also I have reduced extra 4 kgs in one month.
PROBLEMS
It is horrible for a vegetarian to follow LCHF diet. It is worse than EKADASHI FASTING. For non vegetarian it is everyday FEASTING like x-mas day etc. But after the benefit it gives I am ready to sacrifice the 5 minutes of eating pleasure. But my wife make nice different items so now I don’t feel it at all.
I am aiming for the target FBS BELOW 85. I hope within 1 month I will reach their.

Thanks for sharing LCHF benefits. At first stance your protein intake is on higher side. You should consume protein maximum of 1g per kg of weight as you know it will also spike sugar later on. Regarding your total daily Kcal diet, there seems to be miscalculation:-
Carbohydrate 120 gm x 4 = 480 Kcal
Protein 131 gm x 4 = 522 Kcal
Fat 191 gm x 8 = 1719 KCal
Total 2721 Kcal
If you reduce your protein intake and fat as per daily calorie requirement you may even reduce your metformin dosage.
this is my excel not coming in order. It seems my 3 items make the protin high 300gm yogurt;675 gm boiled vegetable; and panner 90gm. I don't know how to reduce these items.
I agree with ranj. Protein intake is high. LCHF is rather difficult for a vegetarian. If you are really eating that much fat then there is scope for reduction in carb and protein intake.
I am afraid to take butter and ghee because of my earlier bp and heart palpitation. I have pure cow ghee at home. before i started taking my bp increased.
Sir Atma I do not know about ur diabetic history but Medfree says that u may seen Atma profile and he is vegitarian follows LCHF .
Firstly I request u please clarify about your history of Diabetics
from how muchlong u have noticed your height and wt. and age What r the daily routine work u have engaged what the medicine u taken .
Further u may clearly first your daily eating charts as follows
early morning drinking tea or cofee or milk ? with or withour sugar ?
Luch what y take example roti or chapati dosa or idlyhow much quanitity with chutney or sambar or veg palya ?
3 mid day meals what u taken ?
ecening snacks only or cofee ortea ec?
Night mals ?
If u given it clearly next approximate calories may easily found.
Further main question what r the fats u used butter ghee or what ?
Further every food items have carbonate protien and fat. But rice mwheat jowar ragi r high much sugar bengal dal grame dal or (bengal gound or gram round ) tovar dal or some less carbonate as rice jowar and wheat but it has some protiens . All fruits and vegitable have less carbonates and most minerals and vitamins
Are you saying you tried butter and ghee then your bp increased, or are you accepting some authorities' word that this will happen?
what I was trying to say was my earlier heavy roti loaded diet(30 phulka perday) +heavy soya diet and ghee and cream milk increased my BP and heart palpitation. Before coming to lchf diet you can't imagine how much food i used to eat. Now with this diet I will slowly start cow ghee and see. But I never read any where the relation between ghee and bp. It was my assumption.
this i take from fatsecreat.com and other websites. i took for 100 gram have
what calories,carbs,fat and protin. Then i multiplied with my intake QTY.
90gmPANNNER ;238cal;3 carbs;18 fat;16protin GRAMS
Here i have presented my 1 major heavy protin oriented diet and it's calculation. I dont know when i save it all the data becomes messy.so i use one only for clarification.
atma: your post has confused me. My perception is that calorie multiplier for both carb an d protein is 4 i.e. one gram carb gives 4 calories and for fat it is 9. If this is true, your 90 gram meal has to be 360 calories or more. efar52@gmail.com
Great improvement .Incidentally, how long you have been a diabetic before starting LCHF diet ?
True ,vegetarians do not have much choice of LCHF ,.I am a vegetarian too, but I take eggs fortunately . In course of time you will come out with innovative LCHF recipes like I did in the last one year .as you yourself are complimenting your wife on this score . Pesarattu ( I think it is the same as channa/mung dal chilla ) and un-strained vegetable soup can be great fillers in addition to whole milk yogurt
4 years of type 2 diabetic. trying to follow lchf since last 3 months. It was my extreme hunger while eating starch made me to choose this diet. I was not getting the result because of my high protein intake soya. Yesterday only I came to know about it. So be careful with soya.
You can eliminate drugs altogether since you are only 4 years old diabetically.! I wish I stumbled on to LCHF diet 15 years ago.I have spent 25 years struggling to keep my D under control .The improvements I see in the last one year with LCHF diet is phenomenal
Green salad and vegetable soup (with 1 tsp of butter or ghee ) can be included in your daily diet..Believe me they are delicious You can use olive oil dressing for veg salad.Also,some nuts ( no cashew & pista) can be added along with fresh cream ( 40% fat cream is marketed by Nilgiris & 25% by Amul) for taste and for fat calories.Use avocado mixed with whole milk yogurt which will be filling .Avocado is also rich in MUF and dietary fiber.We are blessed with variety of green vegetables and you can take them in plenty in raw form in salads or cooked .Always check the carb content in vegetables .Raw vegetables are low in quick acting carbohydrates compared to cooked vegetables All that it requires is a change in our traditional food habits .For some , without daily roti, rice, dal and curd , meal is not complete .This conventional thinking must change for LCHF dieters .
thanks ram_latha, for the nice suggestions.Thank GOD at least now you have found the way. Still people out their not knowing the right path. Now try to follow the the complete lchf way don't mix the traditional meals then you can also slowly achieve the aim.Yes now with out grain I started loving my dish by adding little ghee,coconut oil and grated coconut and pannier.
I tried to print my excel sheet it is not coming. even the screen print. so i just typed. yesterday i took only half dose metformin still my 90min sugar is 151 and 120min is 103, before it was 285. I am new still experimenting it. let see what happens
MY VEGETARIAN LCHF DIET.
breakfast lunch and dinner.
100 gm yogurt
125gm palak/bindi/etc subji cooked in coconut oil
225gm cabbage/louki/capsicum/onion/etc boiled with grated coconut and cow ghee
30gm dal/chana+onion+vegetable chilla(once in a while)
30gm avacado (not every day)
125gm green salad+flex seed powder with olive oil dressing
16gm fenugreek sprouts
100 gm karela sabji(only night)
In between when I feel hungry total I take 30 gm badam, 30gm walnut and raw coconut 90 gm.
With this my total food intake per day is 1846gm; calories 1598; carbs 87;fat 144; and protein 62.
In between I take green tea and apple cider vinegar.
Metformin has accumulated effect. If you take occasionally then it may not benefit much. Which version you take SR or IR? Replace raw coconut with VCO. It will further reduce your cabs.
Thank you, I am taking regularly morning and evening metformin SR 500 (GLUCONORM SR 500). But my 1 hour PP is high around 285 so i doubled the evening dose. I was making a major mistake in my lchf diet by eating lot of protein thinking that it is fat!!!. Now i watch and eat. That is right VCO is sugar free. I mean no flesh content in it.
kindly provided which are foods are under LCHF I am non veg person

In addition some time i have small pain in my foot at bottom which is not reg aurally Pl mail in my mail id velmurugan20110@yahoo.com
Please advice is it required to change my medicine dosage including in afternoon also
I don't know much to guide. I myself is new comer to lchf. But for non vegetarian this diet is heaven. cut down all starch items and increase the intake of fat. Do it slowly and read the article published on this website about LCHF.
Before i was also taking dangerous pilles like pioglitazone, glimipride, voglibose and galvus. Now with this diet i am just taking metformin. I hope if i reduce the protin itake i can get rid of that also.....may be. but i am more than happy with this diet.
Edit : Am assuming, you are using a glucometer. If not, get one, before starting to implement things from the links in the link, that I have suggested.
i tried to copy to word even from notpad still when cutting and pasting it goes. even i retyped entire thing in notpad with spaces still while uploading it mess it up. i made very systematic table of what i eat and it's carb,fat,protin,calories in a excel table. Just input the qty and it will show you the total output. like a small excel program. it is very convenient for me to observe and correction. I found 1 item made my total lchf fail because of huge soya intake. today i totally avoided that item from my menu. still according to medfree and concerned i have to cut more protein. it is a learning but worth it kcl.
Past one week I am taking ALA 300mg from torent(naula e 300). I am having so much energy all day. Doing lot of exercise and walk still in the night difficult to get sleep. Afternoon i nap for 1 hour. But night time for the last one week i am not getting sleep fast. It take 1 hour or more to get sleep. but sound sleep. The same time i stopped the night heavy load soya(protein). anybody experience this with ALA? or it is because of reduction in protein intake?
